gil scott heron – madison avenue lyrics
pretty pictures in your favorite magazines
span the distance between you and mr clean(?)
you can take part in the all-american dream
just fill your house up with a million
products you don’t need.
you don’t ever have to use them.
buying is all that’s asked of you.
but if it’s so godd-mn incredible
you can’t believe it’s true
it’s madison avenue
make it all commercial
there ain’t nothin’ folks won’t buy
new fuel to fire up the monsters of free enterprise
gizmos and gadgets, batteries to make them run
just give your check up at the first of every month
and don’t wake up to the uselessness
’till your whole life is overdue.
’cause if it’s so godd-mn incredible
you can’t believe it’s true
it’s madison avenue
they can sell sand to a man livin’ in the desert.
they can sell tuna to the chicken of the sea…
you are surrounded and confounded and
dumbfounded by the happenings yes it’s true
it’s madison avenue
